Avalanche Courses

The greatest hazards that backcountry skiers/boarders, sledders, ice climbers and even snowshoers face during the winter are avalanches. Misinterpreting conditions, and traveling unsafely in the backcountry can be fatal for even the most experienced enthusiast. The knowledge you will get from taking the MWO avalanche safety courses will greatly improve your margin of safety and decision making confidence when assessing the risks of backcountry winter travel.
